Well, I guess it's time. I mean it's been so long since I was not able to write something so deep and so sensible. And I missed this. I missed being myself, pouring out myself in words not just in pictures. And as for that, Ive decided to write a list of the things I am grateful for...

First, I am so grateful of being one of those who have the toughest job in the world, being a Mom! It might be the most difficult but the most fulfilling thing ever. Looking at my son growing up, learning things and smiling back at you is just so priceless. I could not trade that to any other job in the world.

I am grateful for Lucas, for being healthy and being bubbly and for being the most charming person in the world I've known.

I am grateful for my best friend, my partner in life. I said this a million times and I'll say it again, I am thankful for having a person who loves me for who I am, who never gave up on me... who knew me deeply and who accepted every inch of me. Things might be complicated at times but I am grateful.

I am grateful for my true friends. We don't get to have everything we want but having atleast one true great friend is just like almost everything. But I have God, Lucas, My partner and I have few true friends! Friends who don't judge, who accepts who you are and who's always around. And I am grateful because I have more than everything.

I am grateful of my job. This job had given me so much. Not just material things, not just money to  sustain my living,  had given me a lot of life lessons. I learned to be more patient and the best one I learned is to be more responsible. I never had been very good with my attendance with the previous companies I worked with. The longest stay is 6months. And I am so proud to say that this is my 10th month in this company now with 2 incidents of a minute late, went home once because of a toothache and that's it. No infractions, no absences! Every month for almost a year I enjoy my perfect attendance incentive and its an achievement for me. I am thankful for my job. It's life changing.

I am grateful for every opportunity I get to share my passion and my thoughts. And I am soooooo happy to tell you that I have my own domain now. Now I am more inspired to write. Not just photo blogs but to write about everything. And I am grateful for my readers. For those who appreciates what I share.

I am grateful for everything I have now. I used to ask my Papa whenever I need or want something and gosh I am turning 27 this October, its not reasonable to ask now that I have my own family. But I still can't believe that I am living on my own now, buying things on my own, giving my son his needs and wants with my hard earned money. It's such a wonderful feeling having to stand on your own getting all your needs and wants! I am ever grateful for that!

But with all of this, If you could try to read my blogs for the past. I am an active christian leader. And I miss that. I truly miss that. I've been trying my best to be back on track but I think the world is just too much pulling me just like that. But everyday, I still think about Him and the way I was before and how much I wanted to go back to that  place. I just missed being with Him and that's one thing I am thankful for. That I still miss Him,and for me, whenever I miss Him, I think He was still calling me, and that I am still His and that He is still there. Thank you for the ocean of Grace. Thank You Dad.

Whatever I have now, I am grateful for it. For everything from heartaches, failures and success, good news or bad, tears and joy. 

TO MY GOD BE ALL THE GLORY.

XOXO,

Shine
